South Australia > The Barossa Valley

The Barossa Valley is a relaxed and friendly place, where you can share a drink with the people who actually make the region's world class wines. You might meet them at the Barossa's wineries and cellar doors, or you might run into them at restaurants, or on a golf course.  Of course, there is more to the Barossa Valley than just wine.  Take the opportunity to browse the local art stores for something special to take home, sit in a friendly cafe and enjoy a brilliant cup of coffee, or get out into the countryside and stretch your legs with a walk in a national park.

 

You can enjoy the world-class cuisine and the globally-awarded wines at the Barossa's luxury hotels and top restaurants. You can visit the famous Barossa Farmer's Markets, and discover a new drop at boutique cellar doors. Perhaps you could even pick up a few gourmet tips yourself at cooking classes hosted by some of the nation's most accomplished chefs.  Once you have satisfied your tastebuds, take the opportunity to explore the Barossa countryside and enjoy a brilliant blend of experiences. Get in touch with nature with a hiking adventure in our national parks, or test your golfing skills on one of our top greens.

 

The Barossa is also home to a thriving arts culture that stretches back over 160 years. You can learn about this rich history at the region's museums, or see the best contemporary work at art stores and galleries - the perfect chance to take a piece of the Barossa back home. With so much to see and do, there is always a reason to celebrate. That is why the Barossa is home to festivals showcasing food, wine, art and music, sports, even classic cars. It's just other reason why the Barossa is the perfect place to get away from it all!
